Massive catch up, part 2: my MAN is 30!!

Even my catch up posts are going to be out of order...such is life, right? 

Mikey turned THIRTY on June 20. And, of course I had a surprise party planned. And, of course he figured it out. BOO. I'm not really sure how, except I think knowing me, he just expected it. That sounds bad, but I totally get it. We've been to so many surprise parties, 30th dinners, etc. he just knew (and rightly so) that I was going to do something for him. I tried to play it off that we were celebrating his birthday that weekend in Beaufort by inviting another couple down with us, apparently he didn't buy it. I also tried to say that we were just gonna meet our families for dinner on his actual birthday, since that is when we did the surprise. But, yeah...that didn't work either. Whatever, it was fun. I'll never try and surprise him again.  Turd head.

We had my brother and SIL pick us up by boat and ventured over to Liberty's for the big event.
We seriously have some amazing family and friends.  We had such a good turn out, especially considering it was a WEEK night, and we typically don't do stuff on week nights anymore...b/c you know, we are old. (duh)  Hence, the reason for the party ;-)

Party goers.
All the fam that was there!!  My mom had been invited to a girls week at the beach, so we missed her but were thankful for Mikey's family and my daddy and brother and SIL that came.
The restaurant was pretty strict on stuff....and would hardly let me reserve any tables....so I really just had to depend on people getting there early and getting a few big tables together.  So, I just didn't worry about decorating or going all out in that area.  I paid for a nice little bar tab for everyone for several hours and then people ate on their own.  It was a BEAUTIFUL night, although hot. And I sweat like a PIG (no, I unfortunately don't "glisten"...I straight up SWEAT, so my hair went up immediately, boo to that).
Collins wasn't really in the best mood that night:(  But, I think she was overwhelmed with all the people there wanting to hold her/talk to her and hot.  Luckily I planned in advance and a babysitter came and picked her up around 8.






My SIL made an AMAZING carrot cake, Mikey's fav.

I mean, really?  HOW CUTE!!










So thankful for all of the wonderful people in our life that came out to celebrate my number one guy turning THIRTY!  It was such a fun evening!!

xoxo

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
